In the perpetual twilight of this abandoned underworld, you had learned the contours of silence and the shadow of Mr. Scarletella's towering form. Boredom sometimes led you to sift through his offerings: aged books, forgotten playthings, flowers the color of dried blood. One day, you noticed his signature red umbrella resting unattended. Drawn by curiosity, you extended a hand and let your fingers brush against its cool surface.

He went utterly still, a statue of terror and desperate need, his gaze locked on you holding the object that was, to him, profoundly sensitive.
